ClearVue Update - CleanTechnica

ClearVue, an innovative Australian company specializing in solar glass technology, has made significant advances in transforming windows and buildings into solar energy generators. Their technology enables greenhouses to become energy-efficient and self-sufficient by generating up to 40% of the power needed for lighting, heating, cooling, and automation without blocking the sunlight essential for plant growth. Over four growing seasons, ClearVue’s solar glass has demonstrated remarkable results, including up to a 93% increase in crop yields for various plants such as beans, leafy greens, tomatoes, and snow peas. These findings have been validated through controlled experiments and multiple seasons, highlighting the technology’s potential to enhance food production sustainably. Building on this success, ClearVue has launched a $AU20 million, five-year research collaboration called the ARC Research Hub for Intelligent Energy Efficiency in Future Protected Cropping. Funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) and 16 partner organizations—including leading universities like RMIT, Australian National University, and industry experts—this initiative
